| Synopsis: |
How can you help children with moderate to severe autism become more effective communicators? Discover the Visual Immersion System (VIS), a practical, research-based intervention framework that taps into the strong visual processing skills many children on the spectrum have. You'll learn how to use readily available resources - from photos and symbols to apps and software - to create a customised system of visual supports that boost seven key communicative functions. For each of the functions, you'll get comprehensive how-to guidance on choosing tools and materials, conducting systematics instruction, collecting data, and assessing how well interventions are working. A must for SLPs, interventionists, and educators, the innovative VIS approach will ensure better communication and higher quality of life for children with autism.Why The VIS Works* Uses visual supports, an approach that's proven successful for children with autism * Strengthens communication skills needed for learning and meaningful human interaction * Builds on evidence-based assessment and intervention procedures developed over decades at Boston Children's Hospital * Incorporates a wide range of low-tech and higher-tech options * Flexible - can be used in home, school, or community settings * provides clear, easy-to-use instructions on conducting interventions * Includes guidance on generalising new communication skills |
